At a glance
Your practitioner selects a peel to match your skin type and concerns, whether that is dullness, uneven tone, congestion, or fine lines. Because the formula and strength are tailored to you, the treatment is both effective and appropriate for your skin. Over the following days, skin renews itself and reveals a clearer, fresher look.

Before your visit
Ideal for
- Dull skin or a rough texture
- Oily skin and blocked pores
- Blackheads and some types of acne
- More even pigmentation
Please note
If you have sunburn, an infection, an open wound or irritated skin, it is best to wait. Your practitioner will tell you how long.
To prepare
- Avoid sun and tanning beforehand, and do not come with sunburnt or irritated skin.
- Tell your practitioner about prescription skincare and any isotretinoin, now or recently.
- Mention cold sores, allergies, a tendency to scar and any recent facial procedure.
- Pause retinoids and exfoliating acids before and after, as your practitioner advises.
- Please tell us about any acne medication or other medicines, and any recent facial waxing.
The right acid for your skin
Salicylic Acid dissolves in oil and works inside congested pores, so it is a good match for skin that is prone to acne. Glycolic Acid works on dullness, rough texture and fine lines.
Jessner is a combination peel that includes salicylic acid. It exfoliates more strongly, and we use it for sun damage and uneven tone.
Your practitioner picks the acid and its strength for your skin type and how sensitive your skin is. There is no single formula.
On the day
Your practitioner applies the peel to clean skin, usually without numbing, and watches closely until it is neutralised or removed. You may feel a warm tingle or a mild sting.
Our Salicylic and Glycolic peels finish with a collagen mask, then aloe vera and hyaluronic acid, then moisturiser and sunscreen.

Until it settles
- Let flaking skin shed on its own, with no scrubbing or picking.
- No saunas, steam rooms, swimming or hard exercise for 24 to 48 hours.
- Keep out of direct sun and wear sunscreen every day.
- Contact us if anything unexpected develops afterwards.
- After a stronger peel, skip makeup until your practitioner says it is fine.
Results
ResultsBest seen at about two weeks
While your skin settles, it may feel tight and sensitive and look red or dry. That passes as the more even surface underneath comes through, and it shows best at about two weeks.
Results vary with the acid, its strength and your skin. Daily sunscreen and good skincare help your result last between maintenance treatments.
Questions people ask
Not always. Some people only notice dryness or fine flaking, and others shed visibly, depending on the strength of the peel.
Superficial peels often come as a series, especially for congestion. Your practitioner spaces them as your skin responds, and the American Academy of Dermatology notes several may be needed.
Please protect freshly peeled skin from UV, because its pigmentation can change, especially in darker skin tones.
All three of our peels are superficial and work on the surface. Deeper acne scars or established pigmentation may need a different treatment, or a combination.
